Republicans controlled Congress under Clinton and dominated the federal government for 8 years off and on afterwards. You can hardly say 08 was all Bill’s fault. As tor Osaka, he wasn’t the “indispensable man.” They might have pullef it off anyway. Or if not 9/11 then some other attack. You can’t reasonably after four decades of terror point to one decision not to nab one guy as determining the issue.

Nabbing Bin Laden, assuming the opportunity presented itself, was Clinton's call to make. The opportunity presented itself, and he didn't.

The housing crash could have been averted. The Republicans tried to establish an over site committee for Fannie and Freddie, but the Democrats had enough votes to block them. Among those who blocked them was Senator Obama. That's right, President Obama inherited the housing mess from Senator Obama.

As for the collapse of the US auto industry, of course it wasn't Clinton's fault that Americans chose foreign makes over their own, but it wasn't Bush's fault either, but who has received the most blame?

You're right that we'll never know what could have been, but if Obama had been captured without a fight as could have happened in 1996, his calls for others to martyr themselves may have impressed a lot less.

I just saw this. "but if Obama had been captured" in post 35 should have been "but if Osama (Bin Laden) had been captured".
